| 1957 NBC-TV Promo for their Saturday Prime-Time Line-Up
A promo for NBC's Saturday Prime-Time line-up, circa sometime in 1957. The promo promotes the following shows: "The Perry Como Show", "The George Gobel Show" and a one-off TV special called "Five Stars for Springtime". These may have been live, which I presume is why it uses promotional stills to promote the shows.

| Artistic Masterpiece: ''Howdy Doody'' - 1 April 1952
An artistic masterpiece from the early 1950's, this episode of "Howdy Doody" comes from the 1st of April, 1952. As such, the episode starts with a practical joke which probably annoyed many people. This episode also contains lots of advertising for the sponsors, including Colgate Dental Cream and Kellogg's cereal. Like many TV broadcasts from this period, this episode features some talk about elections, though in a safe and light-hearted manner suited to the program's young audience.

| American Broadcasting Company - 1955(?) Ident
I already uploaded the show this comes from, but the closing logo got clipped off by the DVD ripper. So here, is the complete logo, which I presume is from 1955 (unless it was edited onto the kinescope from somewhere else). The logo promotes "Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour". This is yet another pointless upload that only exists because I lack a social life and I have insomnia. I hope this doesn't violate any copyright laws....

This popular comedy starred the famous comedy couple playing their trademark characters. The series lasted eight seasons. I do hope the upload turned out fine.
